Draft Grade — Chargers

Grand theft in No. 197: the Chargers steal Gadsden II and grade out a B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 132 name on the board, in pick No. 197. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Horn Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in slot 55, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Skattebo well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 123rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at the 157th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Rod Moore
You do not let a safety like Rod Moore reach pick No. 179 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 208 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 213th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
